The Honda signs come down in Rutherford Street.

The Honda signs have come down to go back up shortly just down the road.


This week some big changes in the Bowater Motor Group have become quite obvious, and no longer are just something being quietly planned and discussed within the group. Now it is all right out there as the Bowater Honda signs have come down from the building on one of Nelson's busiest intersections - Rutherford and Hardy Streets.

This is probably causing a few questions around town and quiet murmerings as to what is going on. The long and the short of it is that Bowater Honda is moving in the New Year to a more centrally located building in Achilles Ave that is being rennovated as we speak to create a stunning new showroom.

The team from The Little Pig Building Company have done a wonderful job on converting one of the groups new vehicle preparation buildings into a purpose designed new Honda showroom.

The decision to move Bowater Honda up the road to the new location in the entrance to the Wakatu Carpark is all part of a bigger plan which will ultimately see the Bowater Motor Group add another string or two to it's bow.

Tony Bowater has a close shave with the Mayor

Whilst Bowater Toyota CEO Tony Bowater has been rocking an excellent 1980's style M.O.T Moustache all good things must come to an end, and with the end of Movember here he couldn't wait to be rid of the itchy and drink spilling cookie duster!

Unfortunately for Tony we kept him going with the Mo for an extra couple of days so that we could make a bit of a song and dance about the removal of it and try and gather some extra donations as the actual cutoff for raising money is December 10th, so in other words watch the video and go and donate!!!! Click here to head to our Movember page - after all this is the whole reason we are doing this, to raise both money and awareness of a really great cause.

After being gently persuaded that keeping the moustache an extra couple of days would be for the good of the cause Tony agreed to a visit to Stormy's Man Cave in the Farmers Arcade to experience, for the first time ever, a true "gentlemans shave". What we didn't tell him was that new Nelson Mayor Rachel Reese would be the one in charge of the clippers, also for the first time ever!
We were there with the video camera to record such an event for prosperity....

Famous MoBros - our moustaches get famous.

Today we had the pleasure of getting together as many of the Bowater's MoBro's as we could for a photo for the Nelson Mail. With 6 different locations spread out across the region it is always hard to co-ordinate all of our MoBro's but we managed to get about a third of those participating this year to the photo shoot.

Hopefully this photo and resulting article in tomorrow's paper will generate some more donations to our Bowater Motor Group Movember page, which if you click here will take you through to where you can donate. It is easy, safe and secure and will only take a couple of minutes and we will be most grateful.

Martin de Ruyter from the Nelson Mail was as professional as always and snapped a great shot of us all, which is posted further down in the article.

We are very much looking forward to the reaction from tomorrow's newspaper article and hopefully a surge in donations to our Movember account. We are currently ranked 906th on the national list so are not doing too badly, but wouldn't it be great to get within the top 100! Come on Nelson Tasman, help us help the Movember cause! Donate now.

The momentum has been building this week as the Bowaters MoBros realise that there is only a week left. The itchiness has moved on for most and many are into serious manscaping territory in order to keep it all tidy. The donations have been rolling in but we could always do with more.
